2024 VMAs Names Nominees in Social Categories, Including Most Iconic Performance in VMA History (1)

What would you say is the most iconic performance in the history of the VMAs? Was it Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” from the very first show in 1984, where she wore a combinationbustier/wedding gown and rolled around on the floor?

Or Madonna’s performance of that same song and her then-current release “Hollywood” with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and a guest rap by Missy Elliott from the 2003 show? The performance caused a stir (nothing new for Madonna) thanks to its gender role-reversal and same-sex smooch.
